Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a significant problem following reperfusion treatment for ovarian torsion. It generally caused by reactive oxygen species-induced damage. Antioxidant agents, such as curcumin, may protect ovaries from this adverse effect. The aim of the present randomized, controlled study was to evaluate short-term protective effect curcumin on rat model ischemia-reperfusion injury. A total 30 female Wistar albino rats, weighing 160-230 g, were divided into 2 groups depending...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate relationship between ovarian volume (OV) and mean platelet (MPV) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Hormonal parameters lipid profile cases, their OV were also assessed. Bilateral 210 newly diagnosed PCOS patients 100 healthy non-hirsute measured by ultrasonography. Blood samples obtained for full blood count, hormone levels profiles. It found that MPV increased gradually as increased. This implies a higher risk hypercoagulability...
